Looks A little like Quillfin Blenny. Here is a good reference, the colors don't match but the pattern does.

Another view, if this helps. The size of the fish is less than 1 inch.

Could it be a ninelined goby vacationing from the Bahamas?! Or, more likely, a rusty?

sorry but better late than never- that would be the blenny Hypleurochilus bermudensis, the barred blenny: occasional in Florida.
